1 IMPACT REPORT 2017
2 INTRODUCTION 1 Founded in 2008, Lilongwe Wildlife Trust is a non-profit conservation organisation that works to protect Malawi s wildlife and wild places. We focus on where we can deliver the greatest impact and to achieve our mission we believe in the power of partnerships - be it with government or likeminded local and international organisations. Our remit has grown in response to the emerging conservation challenges of the past decade and we are proud to share both our 2017 results and 10th anniversary highlights with you in this report. CONTENTS Challenges p2 Our approach p3 10 years on p impact p5 Financial summary P8 People & partners p9 OUR MISSION To protect Malawi s wildlife by helping wild animals in need, combatting wildlife crime & empowering guardians of the wild.
3 THE CHALLENGES 2 POVERTY Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world with one of Africa s fastest growing populations. Day-to-day survival takes precedence over luxuries like wildlife conservation, even though biodiversity loss ultimately impacts humanitarian issues like health and food security. HABITAT LOSS 87% of Malawi s population doesn t have access to electricity and rely on charcoal and firewood for their energy needs. This, coupled with demand for land for agriculture, has driven extreme rates of deforestation, the highest in the SADC region, which means the loss of wild places for wildlife to live. WILDLIFE CRIME HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICT Malawi is a principal transit hub for illicit wildlife trafficking in Southern Africa, historically influenced by factors like weak deterrent legislation and poor law enforcement. Illegal trades in bushmeat, charcoal, wildlife artefacts and pets are also locally prevalent and are becoming increasingly commercialised. Habitat loss and rapid population growth mean human-wildlife conflict is on the rise, impacting both the welfare of individual animals as well as the survival of species.
4 OUR APPROACH 3 VISION That every wild animal in Malawi is free from human inflicted suffering. That Malawi is free from wildlife crime. That everyone in Malawi respects and protects wildlife. That evidence based management is integral to wildlife conservation in Malawi.

5 CELEBRATING 10 YEARS 4 HELPING MALAWI S WILD ANIMALS IN NEED Lilongwe Wildlife Centre, LWT s first project, today stands as Malawi s only wildlife sanctuary. It is world-renowned for its high welfare standards, reflected by its international accreditations. Over 800 animals have been rehabilitated with over half released back into the wild. The Wildlife Emergency Response Unit was set up in 2015 in partnership with the Malawi government and provides nationwide wildlife veterinary support. It has since saved the lives of almost 100 animals injured in the field, the majority being elephants or rhinos caught in snares. COMBATTING WILDLIFE CRIME Since co-authoring the country s Illegal Wildlife Trade Review in 2015, LWT has: Supported the Malawi government to set up the first specialised wildlife crime investigations and intelligence units, which have since been responsible for 223 arrests and the seizure of 1,414kg of ivory. Stood as the lead local NGO on the Wildlife Act Amendment - the fastest passing of any bill in the history of Parliament - that critically increased custodial sentences to 30 years. Established a wildlife justice programme, which includes the mandate to privately prosecute on behalf of government, and which has resulted in record sentences of up to 18 years. EMPOWERING THE GUARDIANS OF THE WILD LWT s environmental education programme was expanded nationwide in Over 140,000 school children have since been engaged directly, with tens of thousands more reached through teacher training programmes. Critical support for Malawi s efforts to combat illegal wildlife trade included Presidential backing through LWT s advocacy and Stop Wildlife Crime campaign. In 2017, LWT became the lead local NGO for the Malawi Parliamentary Conservation Caucus in 2017.
6 2017 IMPACT Wildlife Welfare, Rescue & Research 5 LWT continues to run the government s nationwide wildlife emergency response unit and the country s only wildlife sanctuary. Veterinary support was provided for the world s largest wildlife translocation (an African Parks project including 500 elephants) for the second year running. Captive care regulations were completed supporting the new Wildlife Act. It is now a crime to mistreat wild animals or hold wild animals in captivity without a license. Malawi s first Wildlife Research Institute was set up in Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve in partnership with Malawi government and Conservation Research Africa. The first Blue Monkey density estimates were conducted in Nyika National Park, the Clinical Projects in One Health research project was launched, and a rarely reported pathogen was identified Rescues 67 Releases 286 Veterinary procedures Animals under rehabilitation
7 2017 IMPACT Wildlife Law Enforcement 6 Record trafficking arrests and seizures were made through the LWT-supported investigations and intelligence units. In arrests were made - an average of 9.5 per month versus 0.7 before the establishment of the units. Regulations were passed in Parliament which has placed an additional 216 species considered threatened in Malawi under protection, including mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, invertebrates, plants and fungi. They also protect thousands of other endangered species thanks to the inclusion of IUCN red lists and CITES Appendix listings within the auspices of the new subsidiary law. LWT s new justice programme is having a significant impact in the courts. Average sentences have risen to 3.6 years (vs 1.5 in 2016, 0 in ). 91% of all wildlife crime cases undergoing court monitoring or public-private prosecution resulted in a custodial conviction, with 125 traffickers put behind bars. Record sentences of up to 18 years were passed for wildlife trafficking. Malawi s first convictions for pangolin trafficking were secured, as well as a record appeal ruling for Malawi s largest illegal logging syndicate case and the first forfeiture of equipment traffickers arrested kg seized ivory traffickers jailed Max. prison sentence/yrs
8 2017 IMPACT Education & Advocacy 7 Tailored conservation education programmes were expanded in 170 communities around the protected areas of Nyika, Vwaza, Kasungu and Salima. LWT trustee and DNPW Director, Brighton Kumchedwa, won the Tusk Award for Conservation in Africa. The nomination was part of LWT s Mission Possible Malawi campaign to highlight Malawi s achievements tackling IWT. LWT was appointed to run programmes for the Malawi Parliamentary Conservation Caucus Foundation. New films Elephant I Miss You and 30 Years reached over 20,000 people through a community roadshow targeting communities on trafficking routes and around protected areas. A new snare wire jewellery line was launched to raise awareness about wildlife crime and generate income for local communities. 43,335 1,008 14, School children engaged in CE programmes from 423 schools Trained teachers, community scouts & local leaders Trees planted through city schools programme TV/radio/press features
